-6th-
Found a storm raging across the pass
when we woke this morning - Packed and
pushed up in the face of a violent gale of
wind and snow - Went down the west
side into Chatnika River - flying, with
sled locked and Edgar dragging. Snow
deep and trail bad - Passed horse sleds
with animals down - Condon and Stevens
following hard - Made no stop until
we reached the roadhouse at the mouth of
Faith Creek - 23 miles - walked all the
way - Met Oscar Smith miner, at this
cabin and he made some good "sour dough"
pancakes for me for supper. Good bunk,
but cold - 8 in house 12 X 12.
-7th- A most beautiful
morning - the snow storm has gone by and
it is clear - but quite cold. We are now
ahead of all those at Miller Creek,
